Hi Sveinung,

You are missing some of the ALSA libraries (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture). Open up your package manager and search for packages with "alsa" in the name (or if possible, packages which provide the libasound.a file.

The name will probably be something like alsa-devel or alsa-lib-devel

That did it..thanks
